Fredrik Andersson - The Hero lyrics

The blade I swing is black as night Black as my soulless heart It bears the burden of many lives But I don't feel remorse I lent my sword to anyone Willing to pay the price No regrets for what I've done A mercenary's life But there I was, on Battleground Until I felt the jaws of d**h Cut into my flesh Defending old and weak But I did not retreat Now, here I lie in my own blood And strangers cry for me I'm prepared to meet the gods I wished they'd let me be I don't deserve their sympathy I know who I am My soul is d**h and misery I am an evil man I rest in my blood Soon I will face the gods Strangers cry for me I wish they'd let me be Show no sympathy Shed no tears for me I know who I am I am an evil man I know who I am I am an evil man I know who I am I am an evil man I know who I am I am an evil man I know who I am I am an evil man
